Candy I'm so sorry that someone has been so insensitive toward you. I'm VERY sorry that your parents were not supportive in the least. I'm a firm believer of that old public service announcement "words hurt as much as a fist." Actually in my opinion words hurt much more and those wounds don't heal as well as skin and bones.

It's nice to know that you have friends that care so much about you. I hope someday soon you'll realize your own worth. Too many people resort to making themselves feel better by putting someone else down.
